I belive slashdot should create a Topic called "China", with a little red flag as Icon. Last month we have seen a lot of China's stories, indeed most of them are about China shutting something down.
i completelly agree with China's Government behavior. I support children and teenagers having contact and learning with the computer, but playing violent games is far from what the word learning really means.
This young kids should be learning to read source code and hack it, or how to use the internet to do interesting research. Playing this kind of game just alienate the kids making them dumbasses (all right, I know slashdot is also alienating and prejuciail to my health, but I can't avoid it).
I am glad this finally happened. I am Brazilian and I know that our country can (and it does) produce great brilliant minds and top scientists. Even NASA has numerous Brazilian scientists.
The problem have always relied on the government support. Brazilian Govt. is very very corrupt, and most of the money that should be spent on science and technology ends in Switzerland, at some ilegal bank accounts from our beloved politicians.
That accident that ocurred a while ago is a proof. The crew involved with the project have donnated money from their own pockets to buy equipment and pieces of the VLS (Satellite Launcher Vehicle) that exploded.
I sincerely hope that this achievement will be the first of many others.
Congratulations to all Brazilian scientists that have been involved with this project.
I believe my programming experience has made me a better tetris player. With little practice I can beat most of players on tetrinet and I think this is due programming. Of course there are other good players, but most of good players that I found around are programmers either. Coincidence?
Thanks, but I have my very definitive programming guide already. Mwaahahha

There are some intelligent and smart quotes in this essay, but I wouldn't say it is really good. The main reason it is too US centred. This article gives us the impression that all greatest hackers (or even most of brilliant minds) are from US and always will be.
I know how many chapters the battle at the pellenor fields takes at the book, I have read it.
The point is that the movie needs to make money. If the audience don't like it or gets bored with it, the movie will not be profitable. That's all about Hollywood.
I don't agree with the movie in several aspects, but I will not mourn or cry because the movie is crap compared with the book. I am just glad I had the chance to read the book before the movies were released, so my visions and imagination were not interfered or messed up by Jackson's point of view.
I belive he didn't film The Scouring of the Shire because if he did the movie would have two climax. The first would be The Battle at the Pelennor fields, and the second would be the Hobbits' battle at the Shire. The audience would get [even more] tired IMHO.
Tough it would be very interesting to see that scenes screenplayed.
Before I click on the link to the.mov I tought: "The site will be down for sure, after all, it is LOTR, it is a movie, and it is a DVD preview. The nerds will not forgive". For my surprise the site is still up.
Are the nerds losing their power to slashdot sites?
What? Projecting the test cases before the software is written? If you plan to do some black-box testing this is acceptable, once you can plot the test cases based on the software formal specification. But I guess you know there are software testing approachs other than functional (black-box) testing. If you intend to do some structural testing (white box) it is impossible to write test cases before writing the software, once the testing requeriments are defined by analyzing the source code (that's why it is called white box testing).
I was just discussing policitians with my father a few minutes ago while we were lunching. In two weeks brazilians are going to vote to elect municipal mayors and during all the day there are candidates on the TV saying that he/she will do the best for the city and stuff like that. It is always the same bullshit.
These bla bla bla will never win an election, so in my opinion most of the campaign money is throw away with this kind of trash campaign. I don't know how about US, but here in Brazil the candidates usually spend millions and millions in order to get elected while there are hundreds of thousands starving, in such a poverty situation that most of us would not belive.

The NetBeans IDE is also open source. It is a decent visual editor for Java Plataform development.
In portuguese the word gambá means skunk :-) Well, it is VB-like after all.
Before you guys ask I RTFA. I was wondering what do they do with the old processors?

open hardware? free [as in free speech not as in free beer] hardware?
I know I have already posted this some days ago but it is valid for this story too. This is a quite classic text.
may I play age of empires on it?
To sum up, no offense meant to all you over in Cambridge, especially one Mr. Stephen Hawking.
Actually it is Dr. Stephen Hawkings.

You may try to filter/block with squid. Try this sites:
t er.html
http://www.squid-cache.org/related-software.html
http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/squid-fil
There is a proxy called Privoxy with some advanced filtering capabilities.
You may find this interesting.
What about blocking or filtering the spywares and adwares at your proxy? If it don't get into the network, it will not affect your computers.
I think it is one of the first times I have seen the little christmas tree logo as the story's topic. Sweet!

It is nice (or even astonishing) to see that the well known "rivalry" between brazilians and agertines is disappearing.
I believe most nerds have already googled for the cache but here it is.

This is expected, after all, one day a bunch of young and underground hacker become adults and have to assume more serious responsabilities.
... and there is the money and profits issues too.
Ohh
